We were children chasing shadows
Writing dreams on window glass
Little footsteps in the meadows
Promising the world would last
But time moves like a quiet river
Carrying pieces of who we were
Still I know, through every shiver
You’re the calm inside my blur
And every season changed our faces
But never touched the bond we made
You were my home in empty places
My light when colors start to fade
Oh, my friend, my heart remembers
Every laugh and every scar
You’re the flame in dying embers
A constant star, wherever we are
From tiny hands to stories told
I’ll walk with you until we’re old
We grew up through storms and fire
Learning love and losing hope
Still your voice, a soft reminder
“Breathe again, we’ll learn to cope”
You held me when my sky was breaking
Stayed when others turned away
In the silence, gently shaping
Who I am and who I’ll stay
And every mile the world demanded
We stood our ground through every ache
Side by side, two hearts expanded
Knowing some ties never break
Oh, my friend, my heart remembers
Every laugh and every scar
You’re the flame in dying embers
A constant star, wherever we are
From tiny hands to stories told
I’ll walk with you until we’re old
If someday the nights grow colder
And our youth begins to fade
I’ll still lean upon your shoulder
Like the promises we made
Let the years paint silver lining
On the memories we hold
You and I, forever shining
In a story never old
Oh, my friend, my heart remembers
Every laugh and every scar
You’re the flame in dying embers
A constant star, wherever we are
From quiet dawns to sunsets gold
I’ll stay with you…
until we’re old
